Canvas Art - (1) Initials


I tried looking at online to do something easy and fun for kids as well as me or as a gift, I saw the initial project at one of the website and started trying those. I made my kids do it for their own rooms with their initials. They liked it.

I also gave it as present to close family who has newly borns. I am happy how they turned out. Here are the pictures of some of them I/kids made:

Here are the final ones of what my kids made:
(We learnt from my son's one that we should stop at a point otherwise it will be too much rounds).

My first gifts I made - initials : I like the green and blue colors. However I still feel I could have made the A even more better. 

Another gift ready to be given (lots of names start with "A")


How to do - the first two pics shown are given below:

The color combinations I used are explained in picture below:


Paint the surfaces with the color you want. Paint the sides also. Let them dry and do a second coat of paint if needed. 


Use the circular dots, dip in paint and apply on the canvas. make sure you do not apply too much. adjust the paint with a small brush. Let them dry. If you are not satisfied, apply another coat of the paint on top again of the white dots using brush. 

Now I am not a free style artist, so I practiced the initial on paper first, then I tried to do the initial on the canvas using a paint of self color that way it is not that evident. I then applied the paint on it. That is how I achieved the initial canvas.
